Changes

This is the original version. Fading in with a synthesizer whine and various manipulations and reversed effects, [[Trent Reznor]]'s spoken vocals are accompanied by clocks ticking, a synthesized bass loop and chromatic piano improvisation, the latter a feature shared with "[[The Way Out Is Through]]." The layers ebb and flow through the first half of the track, eventually crossfading with a distorted full band coda, similar in composition to the muffled ending of "[[The Downward Spiral (song)|The Downward Spiral]]." As the guitar, bassline and drums fade in, Reznor yells over top, eventually joined by loud crowd loops. The entirety of this 3/4 coda fades out and filters down the low and mid frequencies, the high pitches stopping suddenly.

'''''Running Time: 1:19''''' Used as accompanying music for the official [[thingsfallingapart.com|website]] for ''[[Things Falling Apart]]'', this short remix was released officially through [[remix.nin.com]] as a high quality MP3 in 2007. Also released in this fashion was another, [[Untitled (from thingsfallingapart.com)|untitled piece of music]]. Those two tracks, prior to remix.nin.com, were ripped from thingsfallingapart.com and called "The New Flesh" (Version A) and "The New Flesh" (Version B). Compared to their officially-released 2007 counterparts, Version A and Version B are basically the same, with minor mastering and fade out variations.

Although the song [[NIN songs never played live|has never been performed live in its entirety]], instrumental portions were combined with "[[Pinion]]" to form the introduction for the [[Fragility]] tour. [[Trent Reznor]] sang the lyrics "Give it to me, I can take it!" at least once over top of the introduction. This was done again on the [[NIN 2014 Europe/UK Tour]], but it was combined with "[[The Downward Spiral (song)|The Downward Spiral]]" instead of "Pinion".
